Your First Car? My First Car?

What was your first car? And I'm getting my own car soon so what cars would you recommend? I'm thinking of getting the 2010 Honda Civic Si Coup or the 2011 Hyundai Sonata. I don't know much about cars...please give me some info on what car i should purchase!!

1995 Nissan Altima Gxe. Was a great car. Got it in 2002, and drove it all the way up to spring of this year before I got my new cars. Payed 800 bucks for it. That sucker was a trooper.

1983 toyota corrolla

looks like this but was blue

and it was awesome

My first car was a 1997 grand prix gt. I just blew the motor in it last week:( So for now I'm driving a soccer mom style mini van:x Untill I can find a used motor somwhere, or another car... anyone got anything for saleO_o

I'm gettting a motorcycle instead :D ! since i'm buying it by myself I'm lookin at the 90's CBR600's, ZX6's, GSX-R's (pretty much a 600cc crotch rocket). Anyone have any good suggestions for around $1000?

2005 Hyundai Accent here. Purchased it this March!

1991 Chevy Cavalier. It was suppose to be light blue, but it was more rust color then anything else.

my first car was a 1980 Chevrolet Chevette. It was a piece of crap. Lucky you sounds like you're getting a sweet ride as your first. Don't wreck it.

Something like a 91 or 92 accord forgot the exact year. It was really junky.

Not much basically for 1K you can get a real decent dirtbike. If you can holdout and save 2k more you can actually get a real decent machine off craigslist etc.

1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT.raven_squad

I had a '93 Plymouth Duster. I got the package deal, and by package I mean the car came with with a pole to prop the trunk open :P

A 2002 Kia Spectra that I purchased last July.

lol, we all know how important A/C is to you raw...tocklestein2005

My first car was an old white 1976 Trans Am with red leather interior and huge red flaming chicken painted on the hood. I had to sell it because I couldn't afford to maintain it. The tires alone were $400 apiece in 80's prices.

Im trying to get my first now I just called a few ppl about it

Beats me. It's been 15 years since I sold the thing. Sports car tires aren't cheap. Even the V-rated tires of my turbocharged DSM (the 3rd car I've owned) were $250 apiece and they looked a lot narrower than the Thunder Chicken's*.

I called the Trans Am bird Thunder Chicken even though my friends used Thunder Chicken as slang for the Ford Thunderbird SC (Super Coupe).

2001 ford explorer . I know i shouldn't be complaining since my parents bought me the car , but they didn't do any research into the car according to my mechanic the car was in a wreck and they had to replace the entire front end .That car has given me so much trouble and My parents were wondering why the got it for only 3500 :?

A white one of these - a '92 Mazda MX3, but without the sunroof:

I wish NOW I didn't part with the thing. But, I was young and I was poor. I replaced it with a "new" 1986 Nissan Pulsar NX. Ugh.

The rims looked like they may be 15" or 16". It's hard to remember. The tires had big sidewalls and pretty wide like most 70's V8's. But, yup. I was shocked too at what the car shop wanted for new tires. I remember telling the clerk, "This isn't a Corvette or anything. Why so much?".

A 2000 Saturn

1979 Camaro Z28.

Had it for about 8 months now.
